We Embroider A Brooch In Autumn Colors With Beads

Author: Tatiana

In autumn, we girls want to be beautiful and attractive no less than at any other time of the year, and maybe even more. On cloudy, rainy and cold days, we hide in large cozy scarves, warm coats and knitted sweaters. Autumn rarely pleases us with warm and sunny days, so we will delight ourselves. Today we will embroider a brooch in autumn shades, which can be used to decorate a scarf, shawl, coat or sweater.

For work we need:

• Sew-on rivoli Swarovski 8 mm., Color Volkano
• Swarovski pearls 3 mm., 4 mm. and 6 mm. Bright Gold, Cream and Lavander colors
• Swarovski bicone beads 4 mm, color Violet
• Sew-on rhinestones
• Galvanized seed beads TR - 11 - PF 557, Beads TR-11-2108 and TR-11-166D
• Threads Nymo D, cream and lilac
• Natural leather of a purple hue
• Non-woven
• Cardboard
• Glue (I use Moment)
• Scissors, needles for size 11 and 15 beads

(The photo also shows the variscite cabochon and Treasures 11/554 beads, but during the work I decided not to use it) Let's get to work. Draw the desired shape of the brooch on paper

Cut out and transfer to non-woven fabric. I iron non-woven fabric in 8 layers. Let's correct the drawing and start embroidery. We put on the thread 2 beads of gold color

I thread a needle through the non-woven

And then through the last bead. This is what we get

We sew the entire contour of our brooch in this way.

Next, fill the loops with 6 mm pearls. Bright Gold colors and sew on rivoli. I am sewing with gold beads No. 15.

Now we take the lilac beads TR-11-166D and begin to sew one bead around the entire edge of the picture.

Let's see what happened

Now we take purple beads TR-11-2108 and also sew one bead along the edge

Sew to the middle of the picture. Like this

Now we take gold beads and also sew one bead each

Sewing along the entire edge

We have some empty space left. We fill it with lilac beads

Then we take pearls 3 mm. Bright Gold and sew one side along the edge. The principle is the same as with beads. We put on two pearls, sew the non-woven fabric and leave the last bead

This is what we get

Now we sew the other side of the edge. Here we need sewing on rhinestones

And at this stage, I decided to put the variscite cabochon aside and take more pearls and beads. We begin to fill the embroidery with pearls of different colors and sizes in a chaotic manner, i.e. as your heart desires.

We still have small empty spaces between the beads. We will fill them with golden beads

Now we very carefully cut out the embroidery along the edge, leaving 1-2 mm. contour

Then we take our cut out drawing and transfer it to cardboard.

Mark with a pen where we will make holes

Now we make marks on the skin, pierce and insert the base

Then we take glue and apply it to the cardboard and the back of the brooch. We glue it.

Then we put glue on the other side of the cardboard and glue the leather.

Let's see what happened

We start to process the edge. We tie a knot on a string. We pass it from the seamy side through the non-woven fabric, go out to the front side and pass it through the skin.

We collect two beads of gold color

We pass through the skin and the last bead

Let's see what happens from the reverse side.

Sew along the entire edge and bring out the thread through one bead in the center

We string three beads, a bicone, one bead, a pearl bead and one more bead.

We fix all this and bring out the thread, through the bead, as shown in the figure

Let's make our brooch "fluffy"

Our brooch is ready. It turned out to be very light, neat, beautiful rich, noble and topical shades this fall. We cling, for example, to the Pavlovo Posad shawl and go to decorate the world))
